Seachem Flourish Excel Plant Supplement
Flourish Excel from Seachem Laboratories provides a source of bioavailable organic carbon essential for aquatic plant growth. Plants typically absorb carbon from CO2, but can also use simple organic compounds such as those found in photosynthetic intermediates. When used with CO2 injection, Flourish Excel enhances plant health by complementing CO2 delivery, especially in situations where CO2 alone may lower pH to unsafe levels.
Flourish Excel reduces iron to its ferrous form (Fe2), which is more readily absorbed by aquatic plants than the ferric form (Fe3). This improves iron availability and supports overall plant vitality.

After switching from a standard carbon source, my plants showed more consistent growth. The ferrous iron conversion is effective and supports root development. Works well with existing CO2 injection.
